For a child is born to us,
    a son is given to us.
The government will rest on his shoulders.
    And he will be called:
Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,
    Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
His government and its peace
    will never end.
_{Isaiah 9:6-7 NLT}

He was born to govern
to rule in hearts
not countries.

To reign with mercy
never giving
what we deserve.

To offer grace
that covers the missed marks
of our own doing.

He will not by overthrown
by evil
or strength
or unknown forces

No weapon can stand against
his might
his wisdom
his goodness

He was born to govern
to author peace
in the hearts of men.

Peace to guard
hearts
and minds.

Peace that never ends.
